I could just sit here and listen to the river all day long.
Fishing Highlights:
Great afternoon on Boulder River Ranch today. We successfully fished dries to start things off and as the storm rolled in we switched over to nymphs. The fish were a little selective and seemed to be eating and spitting the flies incredibly fast. But once we hooked them it was like being hooked into a deer. Watching monster trout chase streamers, rise to dry flies and delicately sip nymphs.
The fishing is great.
Overcast skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 48-51 degrees and Crystal Clear.
